Misconception #10: Sugar-Free Candy is a Good Gift for a Diabetic

Although sugar-free foods may reduce spikes in blood sugar, they have the same amount of carbs.  I count CARBS-not sugar!! So please, just give me regular candy and I’ll cover it with insulin. Gracias :)

    The worst part is what happens to your stomach after eating the candy. LMAO. Give me real candy any day of the week.

    My dad always buys me sugar free candy and I get annoyed by it, but it was good because my brothers only got 2 pieces of candy and I got like 15 because you couldn’t find the kind of candy anywhere else :D

    Sugar free food is a big old scam anyway. it tastes yucky, the manitol give you the runs and costs a fortune. Great video!

    You have just saved me from sending a friend of mine (a diabetic) “sugar-free” candy! Honestly, I was struggling with what to get because I knew I wouldn’t eat suar-free candy myself. Now I’ll send my favorite candy, peach Jelly Belly beans; which has only 1 gram of carbs per jelly bean!! :) )
    YOU’RE A LIFESAVER! (Better than the candy kind!)
